Kensington Palace

Kensington Palace is located in the west of London. The building is small and built as if on purpose very modest. The palace is the residence of representatives of the high families of Gloucester and Kent.

The palace was originally built as the country house of the Earl of Nottingham. Later, the house was acquired by King William III, who commissioned the reconstruction of the architect Christopher Wren. During the reign of Anna, a garden was laid near the palace. Today in the park is a sculpture of Queen Victoria, who was born in this palace and became the head of state at the age of eighteen.

Princess Diana lived in the palace until her death, and now her son William and his wife have settled there.

Near the gate in front of Kensington Palace almost every day there is a sea of flowers, as a tribute to the inhabitants of their King Diana.
